They said it best

Aaron and the Floating Web World team did an excellent job building our new website on WordPress. In stark contrast to other website developers, they quickly understood the essence of our company's uniqueness and how to express that through our site. FWW's team are great communicators - succinct, clear and straight-forward without unnecessary jargon that 'techno-phobes' like me really dislike. They delivered excellent work on schedule, on budget, with zero friction. They are a pleasure to work with. Contact me if you want the full story - it's all good!

I find that whenever I run into a technical problem, Aaron is never more than 5 minutes away by telephone and the solution rarely more than 10 minutes beyond. As Editor of Michael Campbell's MoneyTalks.net for the last 5 years, larger projects that FloatingWorld Development take on for us have always been delivered on time, if not early as is often the case. The bottom line is that Aaron and FloatingWorld Development are a First Class Operation. Candidly, I would simply never consider switching my website development business anywhere else.

We have worked with the team at Floating World Web Development on a variety of website projects over the years. We have always found them to be prompt in responding to requests, detailed in their assessment of the work required and on budget. They are also knowledgeable in providing alternate solutions to meeting client functionality requirements and very good about reporting on work in progress (important to us for client reporting). In short, they will continue to be on our preferred list of outsource partners.

We run a charity site and do not have a huge budget, so we appreciate the effort Floating World takes to minimize maintenance costs for us. We would not hesitate to recommend their services.

Floating worlds has solved all of my web development needs. They always deliver requests professionally, promptly, and on budget. Floating World has allowed me concentrate on other things than worrying about the status of my site. I highly recommend!

Ron Prasad

Sales & Marketing Manager

The 2 things that stand out to me and were essential when the project kicked off and throughout the website process is that Floating World is a very personable and dedicated company and I think it is 100% critical that that’s reflected. All your competitors provided almost the exact same info you did for the scope, the thing that set you guys apart was that you asked questions to understand our processes. The official ‘well let me get back to you in 3 days with a quote for you’, and then the formal follow up call from a sales guy to discuss something that was so vague and promise a price based on a scope of work that wasn’t questioned is ridiculous. You didn’t do that. There wasn’t any fluff. You knew the situation was desperate when you came on board and you were working weekends and evenings to try and make things happen so we could launch. That’s not normal for a web development company. The service is exceptionally personable and you are very dedicated, that is what sets you apart, that’s your competitive advantage.

We have beeen working with FloatingWorld for over 5 years. The company has developed our 3 sites: Kostuchmedia.com, Foodserviceandhospitality.com and Hotelierworld.com on the Joomla platform. The company has also been responsible for maintaining the sites as per requested changes and providing tips and suggestions for next steps of development or upgrades, which has been instrumental in keeping our sites fresh and free of viruses. Aaron, the owner of the company is always quick to answer our questions and projects/requests are completed in a timely fashion. Working with Aaron and his team helped us further grow and strengthen our online presence.

Floating World has been the go-to website technology consultants for Afar Communications Inc, since 2007, when we did a major upgrade and moved from a purely static website to a Joomla content management system. We have always been pleased with their high degree of technical competence as well as their high degree of responsiveness when we need urgent assistance - for example due to reconfiguration of the hosting provider's environment or new browser editions suddenly producing warning messages for pages that used to be perfectly acceptable. Throughout it all, we have found the interactions to be pleasant and the cost very competitive.

Aaron and the Floating World team have provided us with reliable and trustworthy development work on various Joomla projects throughout the past few years. They're quick and reasonable and very communicative - We'd have no problem using their services again.

Chris Botting

Owner

My website was set up on Joomla, which as a novice at computers meant nothing to me when the person that set up my webpage recommended it. All I wanted was the ability to add photo's and to make blogs and minor changes. The other thing that was discussed at the time was that the suggested web host (Floating World) was a 'green' site and I agreed that this was important to me. So with that in mind, accolades fail me when I talk about my experience with Floating World! As you may have gathered by now, I was far more interested in making sculpture than learning how computers and web sites work. I had, what I considered the normal ongoing issues associated with having a presence on-line...security, security, security!!! Any time that I felt that something wasn't working right, I asked Floating World for help and received it in a timely and professional manner. I would certainly recommend them to anybody that asks...

Doug Butler

Sculptor

After an extensive cross country search for a web development company, we hired Floating World to develop our websites and assist us in creating a digital presence. We had a tall order with our first web, requiring many modifications to existing Joomla templates and modules to fit the needs of our business. Aaron and his team exceeded our expectations, demonstrating: dedication, professionalism, flexibility and tremendous patience, as our internal team learned the art of content management. In essence the team at Floating World became an extension of our digital team, engaging them on several additional projects and general site performance issues. Floating World offers a level of customer service, knowledge and “can do” attitude, that is commendable and I would not hesitate to engage their services for future development and projects.

Paula Jordan

Aaron was extremely helpful with a time constrained project that I hired him for. His depth of knowledge and quick turn around time were much appreciated. I would highly recommend his services.

Chris Bartle

President of The Evergreen Group

I am writing this email to strongly recommend the services of Floating World Web Development. I had very specific requirements for my product platform buildout, including the need for an online web application. I started with at square one with FWWD and they helped me make my product a reality. Floating World worked with me to understand my requirements and then delivered a custom web application that worked exactly according to my specifications. I would feel very comfortable using FWWD for future website buildouts.

We would like to convey the incredible positive experience in dealing with Floating Web Development, Aaron Handford and his team. The world of online developers is a nightmare, after many failed attempts with other companies and endless lost promises of completions we found Floating Web and Aaron. Our needs were diverse, and in many cases, outdated. We work in a Joomla format, and Aaron was able to deal with our needs, get us into an updated format, develop custom written solutions and deal with my last minute continuous requests of changes all while staying calm, professional, organized and more than anything, delivering it all in an amazing short timeframe. I would highly recommend the services of Floating Web Development to anyone requiring online development. They do what they say they will do and its done when they say it will be done, period.

I can't say enough good things about your help with the website. Your were very efficient and very helpful all the way to completion which was on schedule. You came up with very creative suggestions for the website's look to choose from but ultimately you always listened to what we were needing. You have a very clear way to explain how something works and how we can use the site. We weare very happy with the website and how easy it is to use and update it ourselves. Anytime we needed support, you provided it quickly and efficiently.

Regi Boehringer

I recently had a chance to work with Aaron Handford with Floating World while providing project management support on a web site build for a client. Aaron was excellent to work with. He brought good ideas to the project, was personable and very flexible as client timelines shifted a lot during the project. He managed the cutover to the new site well while coordinating with the SEO vendor to ensure that site’s excellent search rankings didn’t suffer. The end product was great value for my clients’ investment in the site.

I have had the pleasure of working with Aaron Handford and his team for several years now. They were originally contracted at my previous place of work at which they never seemed to disappoint in their professionalism and sense of urgency when getting time sensitive tasks completed. I was completely new to Joomla when I was introduced to Aaron...he took the time to make sure I knew how to use Joomla to complete all small tasks independently. I would recommend Floating World to any and all of my contacts.

Manpreet Deol

We have been working with Floating World since 2010. They helped us make changes to our original website, and then help migrate our website to the Shopify e-commerce system. We have appreciated Aaron and team's promptness and professionalism, and we highly recommend them.

The time required to complete website maintenance changes can vary depending on the complexity of the tasks. Routine updates, such as content edits or software updates, might take just a few minutes to an hour. More involved tasks, like fixing security vulnerabilities, optimizing performance, or troubleshooting errors, could take several hours to a day. Larger changes, such as implementing new features or redesigns, might span several days or even weeks. Regular maintenance schedules help ensure that tasks are completed efficiently, minimizing downtime and keeping the website running smoothly.

This will depend on the type of website you have. If your website doesn't enable you to do it by yourself, we can suggest you options about converting your website into a CMS (Content Management System).

To choose the right website maintenance agency, focus on their experience, expertise, and range of services. Look for an agency with a proven track record and one that offers comprehensive maintenance, including security, performance optimization, and content management. Ensure they provide tailored packages, responsive support, and clear communication. Check their reputation through reviews and testimonials. While cost is important, prioritize value and the quality of service over the lowest price.
